Scribbled Pleas is a book of lyrics by singer-songwriter Mia Stegner, filled with unique prompts designed to inspire creative expression and self-reflection. A storyteller at heart, author Mia Stegner views songwriting as an avenue to ask questions, seek answers, and ponder both personal and collective pieces of the human experience.

It might be hard to explain just why
But do you think that we could try
Switching bodies
Maybe this is weird to say
But I would like to have a day
Where I could look in the mirror and see your eyes
Oh, but I can see you
And you can see me
This bird is making me feel
So real and so seen
I don’t know whether to hide or run
But I do know flying sounds kind of fun
How can I ever leave the gardens
If with this one I will never quite feel done
Oh, I can see you
And you can see me
Who’s winning the contest?
How long will the moment be?
Do you think he knows he’s stunning
The intensity could send you running (running)
If you pay attention (pay attention)
Why’s he staring, is he hungry, am I funny
Look n now we’ve got this cheerful sort of tension
Oh, I can see you
And you can see me
This bird has managed to set
Some piece of me free
My butterflies, they’re known to be so violent
In that moment, most of them went absolutely silent
Pull me from my shadow without even trying
It’s not something most humans can do
But you’re not a human are you?
I came here for the fresh air, stayed for you
I wonder how long you will stay here too
My feathered friend I wish we could stay in touch
I think I want another tattoo
Oh, I can see you
And you can see me
Who’s winning the contest?
How long…
Oh, I can see you
And you can see me
Who’s winning the contest?
How long will the moment be?
